Would you wear it if it said "BETCHA!" on the back?
Betcha you wouldn't.

When they finally ran the owner out, they must have had half the fire department crawling all over that building for a few days. Fire trucks parked all over the street.
Randy's gloating couldn't have been more obvious if he had taken a leak on the corner of the building while the O snapped photos.
I'm curious about the status of the building. If it has effectively been abandoned.

U is for Unclean. Most of downtown can wear these signs.
It is basically the sign of the beast (Dear Father and Great Leader Leonard) who was anointed to decide what is right/wrong and moral/amoral for all Portland. Hopefully his reign will culminate in self-imposed exile where he can ruminate upon the effects of his impulsive actions on Portland.
Posted by Steve | June 14, 2011 6:10 PM
Steve R., that's the general idea, but I'd make the U on the front smaller. And the jury's still out about the back.

Agree, No incumbents and no insider retreads either
or any who are promoted to continue the ruinous agenda.

Allan L. and I have occasionally disagreed on rhetoric, but I couldn't agree more with what he said above...
Posted by Mr. Grumpy | June 15, 2011 10:45 AM
If these buildings are unsafe fire hazards, perhaps they should be torn down. What would happen if I put a sign up warning people how dangerous my property is -- and then say someone actually got hurt. Wouldn't I be sued left, right and center -- plus fined by the government for good measure?
